> In your case, where you want either a space or a comma as a separator, it depends whether both can be used at the same time. If not, you can check for the occurrence of one or the other separator and run split() with the correct separator. If both can occur in the same line, you may want to use the regex module instead: re.split()

Good point.
To be finicky, you'll probably want to replace ',' by ' ' and let split work on whitespace instead of a single space. In case of tabs or a 12,13,14 input.
